                    <h4>Hazardous Substance Control</h4>
                    <div class="toxic">
                        <p class="txt">In order to minimize the usage of hazardous chemicals that may cause harm to humans and the natural environment, Hyundai Motor Company applies a strict and thoroughgoing system of management to the control of such substances throughout their entire lifecycle, i.e., from their extraction to their scrapping. The company has also extended this hazardous substance control system to its partner businesses, urging them to participate in less hazardous, more eco-friendly practices.</p>
                    </div>

                    <div class="heavyMetal">
                        <h4>1. Ban on the Four Major Hazardous Metals</h4>
                        <p class="txt">Hyundai strictly bans the use of the four major hazardous heavy metals, i.e., lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chrome. The company replaced these metals with eco-friendly materials in 2002 in all the processes of its production. The company also announced the HMC Global Standard on the Four Heavy Metals in 2006, banning their usage in the production of all cars, auto parts, and materials in Korea and abroad, urging all its offices and partners to participate in the effort. The company has also banned the use of these four metals in all the new cars sold in the European Union as of July 1, 2003, following it up with the same ban on the cars sold in Korea in 2008 as well. <br />The ban was extended to the company’s other production bases worldwide. The company will continue to develop eco-friendly alternatives and apply them to cars to be sold in regions that are about to adopt similar environmental regulations in the future.</p>
                    </div>

                    <h4>2. European Community Regulation on Chemicals and Their Safe Use (REACH)</h4>
                    <div class="mythology">
                        <p class="txt">Also known as the “no-data, no-market” policy, the REACH, adopted by the member-states of the European Union in 2007, is one of the strongest environmental regulations of its kind in the world, requiring all companies dealing goods in the EU to register the major chemical substances they use in producing and distributing their goods (goods of which they use at least 1 ton per year each). Failure to provide the required data will disable the company from entering any market within the jurisdiction. The policy also limits or bands the use of the 73 substances on the Substance of Very High Concern (SHC) list, 14 substances with provisional permits, and other substances that can be used in only limited amounts, due to the hazards and harms they may cause to human beings and the environment. HMC keeps a systematic database on all the chemicals involved in the production of its cars and auto parts at its plants in both Korea and abroad. The company continues to make efforts to reduce the use of potentially hazardous materials that are not even subject to the REACH yet.</p>

                    <h4>3. Ban on the Use of Ozone-Depleting Chemicals</h4>
                    <div class="ozone">
                        <p class="txt">Many countries around the world strictly restrict the use of ozone-depleting chemicals (ODCs), as they are known to cause skin cancer and destroy natural ecosystems. The U.S. federal government, for example, has been forbidding the production of ODCs since 1989, penalizing producers with extra taxes. The South Korean government also banned the use of CFCs, halon, and CCI4 in 2010, and will be enforcing the ban on methyl-chloroform (1.1.1.-TCE) and other ODCs beginning in 2015 according to its mid- to long-term environmental preservation policy.</p>
                    </div>

                    <h4>4. Systematic Management and Control of Hazardous Substances</h4>
                    <div class="toxicMng">
                        <p class="txt">In order to respond effectively to the increasing number of environmental regulations in Korea and abroad, HMC has adopted systems that secure and manage the information on the types and amounts of chemicals used in producing its cars and auto parts, maintaining close ties of communication and partnership with its partner businesses. For example, Hyundai joined the International Material Data System (IMDS) in 2004 that was co-developed and is co-administered by major automakers around the world, in order to secure adequate information on auto part materials and ensure partner businesses’ compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. In addition, Hyundai has also developed its own electronic chemical management system (e-CMS) to manage the information on the materials and weights of auto parts the company has received from the IMDS. The scope of the e-CMS now encompasses cars not only in the regulated regions, but also in regions expected to develop similar regulations soon, as the company tries to manage its responses to expected regulations proactively in addition to developing eco-friendly products. The company also employs a periodical inspection system that monitors and inspects the amounts of hazardous chemicals involved in each process of production on a regular basis.</p>
